Millie Radford shares huge update just days after two-month-old daughter Elodie is raced to hospital
AFTER her two-month-old, Elodie, was raced to hospital earlier this week Millie Radford has shared an update on her daughter.
The 22-year-old welcomed her third child in September, but the tot spent the past two days in hospital as she dealt with RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus.)
Millie, 22, shared the health update with followers on Instagram, posting a sweet snap of baby Elodie in her carrier as they left the hospital.
The mum-of-three revealed the tot was battling the virus when she shared a video of her sleeping with an oxygen tube taped to her nose.
Millie also posted a graphic titled “Are you RSV aware?”.
In the image, she detailed “what you should know about RSV” which had eight facts about the virus, including that “almost every child” will become infected with RSV in their “first two years of life.”
It also detailed how RSV is transmitted – in a “similar way to colds of the flu, either by breathing in tiny droplets in the air of by the virus getting in contact with the mouth or nose, for example by touch”.
The virus can also survive on surfaces for hours – and can remain contagious during that time.
Elodie-Jade was born on the 20th September, weighing 7lb 10z, after the mum Millie announced that she was pregnant with her third child and that they were expecting a baby girl back in May.
Millie, who is the seventh eldest of the 22 Radford kids, also has Ophelia, three, and Chester Bleu, one.
